The JSDF holds Tony in custody due to rumors of his involvement with Zodiac, but Sakurai has other plans for Tony. As the Arc Reactor enters a meltdown buildup, Zodiac takes over the military base and destroys the parliament centre. Iron Man fights and wards off a Zodiac robot, while Sakurai locates the Zodiac command centre under Tokyo Bay - where he discovers its leader to be Kuroda, now armed in his Rasetsu armor with intent to destroy and rebuild Japan. Sakurai fights Kuroda but is killed, though he manages to notify Tony of Kuroda's treachery.
